Thanks for that, Busman. Hope somebody out there likes 'em!
Another Stateside favourite of mine is the Diplomats of Solid Sound
www.thediplomats.org A great 60's style soul/rhythm 'n' blues hammond organ instrumental band from the mid-West. Got all three of their CDs and, again, another band I would like to see over here. Very popular with mods. Shakey, I think they may be one of the few areas where my taste and your taste overlap!
